review 1: I absolutely loved this! Hat’s off to the author Ron Parsons for doing something that many writers fail to do—tell good stories! It’s especially hard to do so in fewer pages than a whole novel, and despite what one may think (due to shorter length), it is actually quite difficult. I know because I’m a writer too. Your writing must be tight, focused, to the point, but also able to convey enough descriptions and actions to get the reader engaged right away. No easy task! What Mr. Parsons is able to do in less than a dozen pages with the impact of emotion and intrigue, many writers can’t do at all… It’s weird because if you were to ‘sum up’ up one of the stories it may seem simple (student unexpectedly disappears, wife leaves farmer for new life), but there ... moreare more complexities to be discovered, and things are rarely what they first seem. I feel like I could go on and on, but really just read the first few stories and see if you aren’t hooked… There is no real overt sex, violence, or language, but best suited for teens and adults due to the nature of the subject matters. Highly recommended!!!
review 2: A perfect book to read for a day at the beach. I love short story collections because they allow us to experience several different unique circumstances and meet many new characters. I also like how I can get through a story quickly and without all the time commitment. So this was right up my alley. But I was really surprised just how good these stories were! From the first one with the sad, dark twist of Naseem, to the powerful emotional story of The Sense of Touch (my favorite) each of these individual stories paint a lyrical and lush portrait of lives that are in flux, at a critical turning point with fallout and consequences or tough choices. I really hope this author writes more in the future because he’s insanely talented. less
